3. Gender and COVID-19 Group on Mendeley
https://www.mendeley.com/community/gender-and-covid-19/
A collection of research, studies and other references covering the sex and gender dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The library is a public group, free for anyone in the world to join, access and add. References-articles, preprints, news articles, blog posts, magazine articles, reports, etc-include those compiled by Dr. Rosemary Morgan<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_QfLS6Z90w_1rPM-jdeKC_lQXTcwA8Z4kF8Z5CerZrk/edit#heading=h.kzjvcc5m6qsd> at Johns Hopkins University and colleagues from the Gender and COVID-19 Working Group, as well as those from other compilations and sources. The library on the Mendeley platform includes >500 references related to Gender and COVID-19, as well as gender and other infectious disease/epidemics, such that you can locate and find resources, include direct citations and references within your work, and add additional references & folders directly to the group. We invite the community to continue posting new references as they're published/become available even if also being added to an existing compilation elsewhere.

and Sjögren's syndrome affect nine times more women than men 1, whereas schizophrenia
affects men with greater frequency and severity relative to women 2. All three illnesses have
